Meagan Landress | From a Six Figure Student Loan Debt to a Six Figure Net Worth

<p>On this week’s episode of the Wealthy Woman Lawyer® Podcast, we speak with Meagan Landress, an advisor with Student Loan Planner, to discuss how to shift from being six figures in student loan debt to having a six figure net worth. Since 2016, Student Loan Planner has consulted on over $1.1 billion of student loan debt and found over $214 million in projected savings for the professionals they’ve worked with.</p><p><br>Meagan says, “I first started my career working at a personal financial planning firm, and a problem we consistently ran into was that with highly educated individuals, there typically came a lot of student loan debt. I continued to be surprised with the amount of debt we were starting to see, so I started diving deeper into the federal system of student loans and I found that there was a lot you can leverage. The federal system is very complicated, but we can find ways to leverage it in someone's favor.”</p><p><br>We chat about dealing with student loan debts, as well as:</p><ul> <li>Leveraging income-driven plans and forgiveness opportunities<p></p> </li> <li>Determining financial priorities<p></p> </li> <li>Finding an optimal repayment plan that will allow you to achieve financial independence later in life<p></p> </li> <li>Working with a financial planner<p></p> </li> <li>And more</li> </ul>
